@brad_olwin He’s got an S9 Baro. According to the temperature graph

Afair the temp sensor is not the barometer.

[Pavlas]

@sartoric Does the S9 non-baro has a temperature sensor?

[sartoric]

@pavlas
Well, that’s a good question

Hidden in plain sight

So the 9 has no temp sensor ? I didn’t expect it

[Egika]

@sartoric yeah, temp sensor is technically needed to compensate temperature drift of the baro sensor. So it is kind of integrated into the baro sensor.

@freeheeler For this one maybe I adjusted the altitude manually. I will try to do a new activity end of the day without adjusting it.

It’s a baro watch, when I look at my activities, it seems issues started the 4th of January. Before this date everything was fine.

@sartoric it’s proximity to the skin makes sensor useless for any other purpose.

[Cédric Dodrimont]

@dmytro Except when swimming

[DMytro]

@cédric-dodrimont true dat

I have a Suunto 9 Baro since 3 years and the 9 Baro Titanium since half a year.

I have also problems with the altitude profile with both of my watches! The older was in the suunto service center a year ago and they did only a firware update! But the problem still exists (the watch recorded over 2000 meter evelvation change in 50 minutes cycling but it was only 300 meter!)
Thats why I bougth the Titanium and I have the same problem! Three years ago, the atlitude was really preceise. Now you can no longer rely on it! And that’s especially crappy when you make a 360km ultra trail with 26’000 meters elevation change!!!

I will try to record a track with both watches and write a separate topic! Hope this problem will be fixed. Not that I have yet to switch to a manufacturer that has this under control!

Media control, SuuntoPlus and so are cool, but the basic functions should not be neglected for that reason!

Edit: I will update both watches and do a test. Hope that the backlght issue is finally fixed!

Have you ever clean it ?

[Peter Tönz]

@sartoric Yes! and the almost new and clean Titanium is also clean…

I also have two Suunto 9 Baro watches. Latest firmware. The difference in altitude readings on one route is more than 10%.
